Aims: The prognostic role of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) as a biomarker in patients with cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) has yet to be fully determined, especially when compared with B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP).
Methods And Results: In this post-hoc analysis of the ILLUMINATE-CS (ILLUstration of the Management and prognosIs of JapaNese pATiEnts with Cardiac Sarcoidosis), which is a multicentre retrospective observational study, we analysed 103 patients (62.2 ± 10.

As of early October 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic, caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, resulted in approximately 35 million cases and one million fatalities worldwide. Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease marked by the generation of pathogenic autoantibodies and a lack of tolerance to nuclear self-antigens. Hypocomple-mentemia, or an abnormal blood complement deficit, is a reliable predictor of infection in SLE patients.

Background: Cardiac sarcoidosis involves a significant but difficult-to-define risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD). Current guidelines recommend consideration of an implantable cardioverter defibrillator for patients with extensive or significant myocardial late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) on cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. However, extensive/significant LGE is not defined.

Background: Ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (RAAA) is a fatal disease. This study aimed to assess the prognostic value of the preoperative neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) in patients with RAAA undergoing endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR).
Materials And Methods: This retrospective study included patients with RAAA who underwent EVAR from 2012 to 2022.

Background: Angiopoietin-like protein 2 (Angptl2) is a cytokine that is released to stimulate inflammation and accelerate atherogenesis. Our study sought to assess the predictive significance of serum Angptl2 in individuals diagnosed with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and determine whether it can enhance prognostic performance beyond the GRACE risk score.
Methods: We recruited a total of 1060 patients with ACS in a consecutive manner.
